2013 Hyundai I20 1.2L Petrol · GJ63 XJO

The vehicle is currently roadworthy, having passed its most recent MOT test in May 2026 at 123,037 miles. However, the maintenance trend shows a pattern of reactive rather than proactive care. The most recent test failed just one month prior due to a misaligned front headlamp and an illegal nearside front tyre, though these were rectified immediately. While the car currently holds a clean certificate, the history suggests that the owner only addresses essential mechanical faults when forced to by the testing process. The mileage profile is consistent with a 13-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 9,500 miles per year. The record shows a gap of 8,040 miles between November 2023 and November 2024, followed by another 7,149 miles leading up to the May 2026 test. This steady accumulation indicates the car is used for regular transit rather than long periods of storage, which explains the typical degradation of rubber-based components and metal surfaces noted in the earlier records. A buyer must physically inspect the front suspension and braking systems, as the November 2023 test flagged multiple issues including worn and pitted front brake discs, thin pads, and perished lower arm bushes on both sides. The tester also noted corrosion on both rear brake pipes during that period, which is a structural concern that requires close inspection to ensure the corrosion has not progressed. The damage to the nearside rear shock absorber casing should also be checked for signs of fluid leakage, which would indicate a failing seal.
